Maintenance
and repair
When the synchrocheck relay is operating un-
der the conditions specified in the section "Tech-
nical data", the relay is practically maintenance-
free. The relay modules include no parts or com-
ponents subject to an abnormal physical or
electical wear under normal operating condi-
tions.
If the environmental conditions at the relay
operating site differ from those specified, as to
temperature, humidity, or if the athmosphere
around the relay contains chemically active gases
or dust, the relay should to be visually inspected
in association with the relay secondary test or
whenever the relay modules are withdrawn from
the case. At the visual inspection the following
things should be noted:
- Signs of mechanical damage on the relay mod-
ules, contacts and relay case
- Accumulation of dust inside the relay cover
or case; remove by flowing air carefully
- Rust spots or signs of erugo on terminals, case
or inside the relay
On request, the relay can be given a special treat-
ment for the protection of the printed circuit
boards against stress on materials, caused by
abnormal environmental conditions.
If the relay fails in operation or if the operating
values remarkable differ from those of the relay
specifications, the relay should be given a proper
overhaul. Minor measures can be taken by per-
sonnel from the instrument work-shop of the
customer's company, e.g. replacement of auxil-
iary relay modules. All major measures involv-
ing overhaul of the electronics are to be taken
by the manufacturer. Please contact the manu-
facturer or his nearest representative for further
information about checking, overhaul and
recalibration of the relay.
Note!
Static relays are measuring instruments and
should be handled with care and protected
against moisture and mechanical stress, espe-
cially during transport.
